`Well now`............NBC News' Brian Williams admits he wasn't on aircraft in Iraq``

[LongTermGuy]

“I would not have chosen to make this mistake,” Williams told the military publication Stars and Stripes (http://www.stripes.com/news/us/nbc-s-brian-williams-recants-iraq-story-after-soldiers-protest-1.327792), Wednesday. “I don’t know what screwed up in my mind that caused me to conflate one aircraft with another.”
The confession came at a New York Rangers game last week, after Williams reiterated his skewed version of events. The occasion was a tribute to retired Command Sgt. Major Tim Terpak, who’d provided security for the grounded helicopters Williams claimed to have been aboard.``

Why is it. If Brian Williams calls it recanting, he just gets a slap on the hand?

But anyone else who isn't as Liberal as he...tells such a STORY...

They are instantly called LIARS, and FIRED for pretending to be someone they are NOT?

NBC News anchor Brian Williams' comments about dead bodies, Hurricane Katrina starting to gain attention, draw scrutiny
NBC News anchor Brian Williams, who apologized on the air Wednesday night for lying about an experience covering the Iraq War (http://www.newsmax.com/TheWire/brian-williams-apology-helicopter-hurricane-katrina/2015/02/05/id/622858/), is now facing scrutiny over his gripping accounts of Hurricane Katrina, the disaster that burnished his nightly news bona fides almost a decade ago.


Williams’ account of seeing a body float by in the French Quarter (http://hotair.com/archives/2015/02/05/did-brian-williams-lie-about-his-katrina-experience-too/) — which remained largely dry — and even a claim of catching dysentery from drinking Katrina floodwaters have raised eyebrows among bloggers and elsewhere since he took it on the chin this week over a claim that he rode in a helicopter that was downed by a rocket-propelled grenade in Iraq.


“I was instead in a following aircraft. We all landed after the ground fire incident and spent two harrowing nights in a sandstorm in the Iraq desert,” Williams said Wednesday. He painted his earlier description as a “bungled attempt” to thank an Iraq War veteran.


The online feeding frenzy quickly turned to the 55-year-old anchor’s signature assignment: covering Katrina from before it made landfall, when he spent the night of the storm with refuge-seekers in the Superdome and then reported on the harrowing days that followed.


“When you look out of your hotel window in the French Quarter and watch a man float by face down, when you see bodies that you last saw in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, and swore to yourself that you would never see in your country,” Williams said in a 2006 interview.

You can't believe anything he has ever reported on, once a liar always a liar.

Dem Senator Richard Blumenthal said he served in Vietnam. He didn’t.

Hillary Clinton claimed she was under sniper fire in Bosnia. She wasn’t.

Now “NBC Nightly News” anchor Brian Williams said that while covering Iraq in 2003 his helicopter was “forced down after being hit by an RPG.” It wasn’t.

Williams blames his lie to an unfortunate case of “misremembering” though Williams has “misremembered” the incident several times during the past dozen years. The NBC anchor got busted because those who were there finally got tired of his BS. Williams’ Chinook landed about an hour after three other U.S. helicopters were truly under attack.

So why has the NBC crew with Williams been silent all of these years? Not surprising, this is the same network that rigged a fiery GM pickup truck crash, edited the George Zimmerman 911 call and gave race baiter and functional illiterate Al Sharpton his own show.

Unfortunately I think most that believe he is the Messiah believed so as soon as he took the stage, his skin color sold that, yes he convinced some but honestly most that voted for him once and even worst twice didn't do so for any of his leadership skills, he has none. But of course he may of swayed a few liberals with his idiotic attempt as a leader, liberals that where on the fence maybe but in that case again I think they worship him because he is black, being Black has giving him all kinds of excuses and ways out of sticky ( illegal in many cases ) situations, sad isn't it.

Williams has finally shown all of America the true meaning of "STOLEN VALOR". Like all those phonies who pretend to be decorated RANGERS, GREEN BERETS, and SEALS.

I'm just surprised the routine, liberal, talking points about this NBC Liar, didn't also find some way to blame BUSH again??

Whenever liberals, democrats, progressives, and leftists are confronted with FACTS they cannot dispute. Their first DNC Talking Point tactic is to change the subject, or context, and BLAME someone they feel so hateful about, all the time.
Which; in reality. Helps to make the Liberal, Democrat, Progressive, Leftist look like the jackass they hope to disguise.

Brian Williams misremembers memes - Business Insider (http://www.businessinsider.com/brian-williams-misremembers-memes-2015-2)


The on-camera talent of America's highest-rated network evening news broadcast and "the 23rd-most-trusted person in the country" is now the face of viral internet memes.

Brian Williams, who has anchored "NBC Nightly News" for more than a decade, was forced to take a temporary leave of absence over "the next several days" amid the growing scandal of false claims he made regarding his reporting in Iraq.

Williams, who earns $13 million annually (making him America's fourth-highest-paid news broadcaster), admitted to confusing parts of a story he shared on air about riding in a helicopter shot down by a rocket-propelled grenade in 2003. On Wednesday, after multiple military members questioned Williams' personal account, which he had repeated on numerous occasions, he apologized on camera to his audience.

Since then, Williams' coverage of Hurricane Katrina and other notable accounts are under internal investigation.Many hilarious memes of Lyin' Brian at the link.

Personally, I vividly remember this scene though. No, I swear.

They just announced they are giving this puke a six month suspension without pay. Apparently the plan is to bring him right back though, after the six months. At least, that is what I glean from this part of their statement:



“This has been a painful period for all concerned and we appreciate your patience while we gathered the available facts. By his actions, Brian has jeopardized the trust millions of Americans place in NBC News. His actions are inexcusable and this suspension is severe and appropriate. Brian’s life’s work is delivering the news. I know Brian loves his country, NBC News and his colleagues. He deserves a second chance and we are rooting for him.

No way. He might have been able to weather this, but not after he became an internet meme.

He's found infamy, and a News anchor's most precious commodity is credibility.

Brian Williams is now literally the poster boy for liars.It might actually be, Lester Holt. IF he does really poorly I bet they still will have a hard time replacing him with Whitey, any Whitey. But if he does respectable ratings wise, I think they keep him. Even if the ratings are lower. If they didn't, the optics would be really bad.

NBC doesn't care about integrity or if Williams lied - if they did they would have listened years ago when these veterans first tried to tell them. But they DO care about political correctness and Lester IS a black man.

Something to think about.

[NightTrain]

Lester Holt seems to do a good job - the few times I watch NBC, that is.

Usually that's in a bar when I'm out of town and can't get my hands on the remote.

I wouldn't think there would be a problem with him replacing Williams unless there's a few skeletons waiting to jump out of his closet.

I remember him fondly with Chicago CBS station. I was disappointed when he left to go national. He seemed to be what Brian Williams was faking to be. Never saw bluster about how 'cute, brave, and daring' am I.
